The data was collected and generated by WHO and UNESCO from their public records on the number of people living with HIV/AIDS around the world. Devakumar cleaned that data from WHO and UNESCO and put the data into a CSV file that draws a focus on treatment statistics for those living with HIV/AIDS by country.There are 170 observations (rows) in the HIV/AIDS dataset and 10 features (columns) in the HIV/AIDS dataset. With this dataset we are going to try and view the extent of treatment coverage is for HIV/AIDS in countries globally, ART treatment’s impact on the number of people living with HIV, and compare the amount of people living with HIV by region. We added a second dataset from https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/latitude-and-longitude-for-every-country-and-state to add longitude and latitude for each country.
The most common treatment for HIV around the world is antiretroviral therapy (ART). Among the 138 countries that are estimated to have people living with HIV based on the WHO and UNESCO data, 136 have a reported number of people with ART coverage. The ART treatment is effective at allowing people with HIV to live longer and have better overall health than they would otherwise, however it is not a cure for HIV. Another issue is that the amount of ART coverage globally is not distributed equitably. For example, the WHO region that has the highest proportion of people reportedly receiving ART coverage to the estimated number of people living with HIV is Europe, with a coverage proportion of 0.7091416, which is far higher than the coverage proportion of 0.198318, in the Eastern Mediterranean. This displays that HIV is still a huge global health problem in some regions of the world. Despite the Eastern Mediterranean having the lowest ART coverage proportion, the region in which HIV cases themselves are most prevalent is Africa. Specifically, South Africa has the most estimated people living with HIV of any country on record, with 7700000 cases, and specifc countries within Africa have an individual coverage proportion lower than any world region. Madagascar for example, has the lowest coverage proportion of any country in the world with a 0.0897436. Due to the still massive amount of HIV cases in the world and the dismally low ART coverage in some areas, expanding ART coverage and making it more accessible is clearly something that needs to continue to be a priority globally. The following table, map, and charts will further cement this point.
| WHO Region | Total Cases | Total ART Coverage | ART Coverage Proportion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 1058900 | 750910 | 0.7091416 |
| Africa | 25557200 | 16299000 | 0.6377459 |
| Western Pacific | 594100 | 376100 | 0.6330584 |
| Americas | 2244100 | 1391900 | 0.6202487 |
| South-East Asia | 1408800 | 655980 | 0.4656303 |
| Eastern Mediterranean | 380500 | 75460 | 0.1983180 |
This is an interactive map that plots the geographic location for each country. The size of the marker is determined by the number of people who have received ART. When the marker is clicked it provides the country name and the exact number of people who have received ART. There is also a color range that goes from red to blue to indicate how many people are receiving ART.We included this chart to visually see the locations of the countries and compare the number of people receiving ART in each country based on the size of the circle. We can see that Africa has is the region where most of the data for number of people receiving ART are from. Visually, South Africa has the highest number of people receiving ART based on the size and color.
This scatter plot displays the trend of of how the estimated number people living with HIV is impacted as the number of people receiving art increases. There is an overall linear, positive trend with variation. This positive trend implies that as the estimated amount of people receiving ART increases, the estimated amount of people living with HIV also increases.This increase in people living with HIV is due to the treatment being effective, and allowing for those living with HIV to live longer lives.

>>>>>>> 5a83711806c475d92f31f4075b407fbf5d377662This chart was intended to show the relationship between the number of HIV cases and the region of the world. The chart’s goal was to help us figure out what region has been impacted the most by the HIV crisis. It is clear from looking at the bar chart that the African region has been hit the hardest, with 25.5 million estimated cases. It has the highest total of estimated HIV cases than any other region. In fact, it has more cases than every other region put together. The next highest region is the America’s with 2.3 million estimated cases. The Eastern Mediterranean region has the lowest amount of cases, with 380 thousand cases. Most of the world’s focus in dealing with the HIV crisis should be centered on helping Africa.
